Customer & Risk System Review

We hold data on customer systems. From these records are used by many of the bank’s other systems, rather than each of these storing and maintaining the same information. I develop, maintain, and amend jobs (Build the programs) on the mainframe using languages such as COBOL and JCL

I have learnt how to program in lots of languages and learnt how to navigate zOS and how to work in a business enviroment I have learnt a lot about programming theory and how to transfer skills and techniques across languages to help enable me to complete tasks more efficiantly

Working at barclays is amazing as i get all the support i need the team i work with are fun and intresting always happy to help me in anyway i need the equipment i get given is always top of the line to enable me to work to my full potential

the program is very well structured and has a clear path to achieve my goals i know what i have to do to reach them i could not recomend them more and they are happy to help whenever im confused or need support in or outside pof the work place

I have all the support i need plus some anything i need in the workplace or outside i can ask anyone in my team for help on work related stuff school related stuff or stuff outside of work and i have been told where to go or who to go to when i need

My training provider create a one on one relationship with myself and my line manager they help me when i am confused or if i am struggling with in work activities. They offer an out of work support system in case i cant get the support in the workplace which is good

I gives me a wider outlook on the IT world and helps me see how other programmers use different coding techniques to complete different workplace projects so if i ever need to work with another team i will be fully equipped to help and already have the skills i need

There are loads of extra curricular activites that i can get involved in at my work place we have a mainframe sports day every year coding activities such as the hackathon and a the robot sessions that is just a bit of teamwork and fun and i always take part

Yes

All the support i get from everyone and everyone wants to help my work day is not a drag and is amazing learning new skills and having lots of different ways of looking at problems and seeing my work actually be used and help other people in the work place and outside

Be yourself they already know what grades you have and care a lot about you and what you do in your free time. Have some personallity and dont be a robot when they speak to you have fun and show them why they need you. do research and learn about what the company does
